stream like I've been doing for the past
week uh but this my friends is gonna be
thanks so much now and listening on the
drive home son gorilla that's good stuff
that's good stuff but everybody needs to
know there's gonna be a long ass fucking
stream and there's actually a lot of
things I'm going to talk about today I
had to title The Stream something I had
to give it a title I had to give it a
main theme because we are going to be
covering the French protesters we're
going to be talking about the pension
raises and this revolution against
Emmanuel macron that's going on but
there's a lot of other things I want to
talk about and I want to kind of give my
first stream in a very long time where I
want to talk about the South African
economic freedom fighters with you guys
that's what I want to do today so we're
going to be doing that as well so don't
be deceived by the time this is not just
going to be about the friends protest
we're gonna be getting into a lot of
other things
all the news in general I'm a news guy
now but we are going to be covering the
South African economic freedom fighters
what's been going on recently what we
can learn from them and what is so
inspiring and important and what lessons
we need to be drawing from the South
African economic freedom fighters now if
you guys don't know this eff was the
inspiration for infrared
from years ago man I'm talking like
2017. we were looking at the eff and we
were saying we need to get that in
America somehow right
and most dumbasses don't like the eff
because they look at the eff and they're
like oh I don't like this because it's
racially scary to me I'm a white guy and
it's scary dude it's in South Africa of
course the majority of people in South
Africa are black it's a black majority
country okay
you're missing the fucking point when
you focus on Race you're too caught up
in the stupid American BLM bullshit
psyop race politics you can't appreciate
a based organization
future oriented revolutionary
organization where you can see one right
most people are just scared of this you
know they're scared of I guess they're
scared of black people or something man
the fuck up you know
that's South Africa
where what ninety percent of people are
black or something
what do you expect it's not like oh
they're anti-white no they're not
I'll that's a big misconception I'm
gonna explain that in a second
but holy fuck I have to think a gift or
Reaper the creeper thank you so much
Reaper the creep appreciates you what's
on Reaper the creeper thank you brother
I really appreciate that a lot of people
thank you so much Venice appreciate you
shouts out to real American Patriots
fighting for a multi-polar world thank
you so much Badness appreciate you man
yeah that's what we're doing that's what
it's all fucking about right but I have
to explain to people something
because South Africa is a very different
country than America is America thank
you so much Reaper appreciate you
America is a country where
a good majority of people I think it's
what 60 65 are white okay so the racial
politics in America are used as a cuddle
against the working class South Africa
where 90 of people are black eff is
anti-white
they're not anti-white they are
anti-monopoly capital
Monopoly you get the fucking keyword as
Monopoly Capital we're talking about
financial Elites based in the city of
London
you know who own all that South Africa's
shit it's International Capital that's
what the eff is fighting against
they say oh there's a lot of anti-white
rhetoric that's just historical because
uh you know
when you were on when you were dealing
with that apartheid thing
all right most people were black you had
an apartheid government tied to
international finance Capital that kept
the majority down
captain and ghettos right captain in the
what are they called
I forgot what those uh those districts
they were
kept and recalled right
and that's the majority waging a
Liberation struggle to free their own
people every Patriot can admire that
okay we live in America you wouldn't
want a fucking system where 90 of people
are you know
uh uh completely oppressed by a 10
minority I know a lot of you guys don't
want that in America
the townships yeah
the township but the eff is not
anti-white the thing is the eff tried to
go to the poor white communities to
recruit very early on
and they made it part they said hey poor
whites or not just poor whites but even
whites who are dissatisfied with the
system because the system's fucking
broken under the ANC come join us right
and there wasn't a lot of success why
because of the long-standing racial
politics so the eff it's like knocking
on an open door they failed in doing
that but if some white South Africans
want to
mobilize these working class white South
Africans
and then enter into an alliance within
eff I they would be 100 open to that I
guarantee you they would so it's not
about being anti-white it's about being
anti-monopoly Capital the thing is most
of that Monopoly capital
is white because it's tied up to it's
centered in Wall Street in the city of
London so how could you fucking you know
that's what you have to expect
international finance capital is not
African predominantly not African okay
so they're not anti-white they're just
pro-majority they're just Pro patriotic
their own fucking people you know
they're Pro their own people
you have to understand
you know that's what patriotism looks
like and that's what it means
okay
um South Africa is a complicated country
and and you don't it's wrong to focus
only on the race stuff when
the ANC and all of them also are based
in that same Legacy the eff is different
because it's a revolution or
unprecedented revolutionary organization
and I'm going to talk about that
I'm gonna talk about that today right
I'm gonna tell you another thing why is
the FF always getting in this
inflammatory rhetoric and all this kind
of shit because it's the same reason
the right Wingers in America become edgy
and shit because for them that's like a
badge of honor to say we're gonna be
edgy to prove we're not chills for the
establishment
that's why they do it it's not because
they're actually hating white people or
anything it's just like you know there's
this kind of politics that in South
Africa it's like the rainbow nation and
it's all diversity and tolerance for
everyone and the eff is an extremely
patriotic kind of organization who
rejects that idea and more is opting in
favor of an idea where different peoples
need to come together not through some
indiscriminate
you know uh liberal type of diversity
but respecting people's boundaries
respecting the fact that you know each
people have a different history they
have different whatever it's like you
know you gotta understand what you're
dealing with there
so there's always these big
misconceptions when it comes to you but
the eff was formative for infrared from
the very beginning I mean we're talking
guys we're talking about from the very
beginning of infrared starting right but
we're gonna we're gonna put that on the
back burner we're gonna return to that
later
and what we're going to talk about right
now is this stuff regarding the French
pension reforms crazy stuff right
the but I'm gonna give you a rundown of
what's going on in France and how it's
related to all this
but in France
the retirement age is around 64. okay
around 64.
and Emmanuel macron who is the
quintessential globalist
you know out of touch that is the
establishment macron is like a globalist
dictator more or less uh oh every bad
fucking thing you can think of right
and rev is kind of hinting at where I'm
going with this already but
there's he wants to raise the retirement
age which means macron imagine you have
grandparents macron wants to make it so
your grandparents have to fucking work
beyond the retirement age and they have
to just keep fucking working forever
okay and that has infuriated the French
public as you can imagine and I know
that there's protests going on in France
all the fucking time and it doesn't seem
like it makes that much of a difference
but I think you should not undervalue
the significance of the uh
pension reform stuff and I think there's
an equivalent to that here in America
which is the Social Security debacle a
lot of the Republicans As Trump points
out want to get rid of social security
so what is all this stuff
what is the significance of all of this
right is this just the old welfare state
getting in the way of productivity like
macron is trying experience because
macron is sitting here and he's trying
to frame what's going on as uh you know
oh we need to we need France to be more
productive we need it to be more
productive this is getting in the way of
productivity because the amount of the
amount of people who are not an employee
and mooching off welfare is increasing
well let me tell you something let me
tell you something about that okay
because it's important
productivity is not going to fucking
increase when you force our fucking
grandparents to work for McDonald's and
Starbucks you don't even have good
paying decent jobs in the first place
and second of all if France actually had
a government that cared about its own
people what they would do is
hyper-industrialize have good
well-paying jobs for the Youth and then
you can fucking retire at 50 years old
right
you can even retire at 50. the issue of
productivity is not about the retirement
age it's about the fact that France has
too much bullshit jobs
that's the problem of productivity I
understand and this is what the
Ayatollah kamenai in Iran we're going to
talk about that as well today was
talking about in this on Twitter at
least he said
the way to counteract inflation is to
increase production I agree in order to
increase production though you can't
leave that to the market you need to
have directed policies to Spur physical
production now everyone's going to say
oh hoes you're a LaRue site you're a
LaRue site well this is one of the
things that larouche is very correct
about okay I am not a LaRue site quote
unquote across the board I'm not
they have very clear disagreements with
Marx and Marxism that are very clear
that are not in dispute and are not
contested by anyone okay so I'm not a
LaRue site across the board but when it
comes to the strong emphasis on phys by
the way
even in the Soviet Union they had that
that distinction between the physical
economy and the non-physical economy
which they called the material economy
versus the non-material economy was
instrumental in the Soviet Union for
being deciding how they were able to
plan
okay so that was an indisputable part of
their planning mechanism in the Soviet
Union
okay
I want to say one last thing before we
get into the news I know this is a lot
of people who come into the stream like
it and then leave you don't have to do
that if you don't want to watch the
stream you don't have to like it you can
just leave okay because you're not doing
any you know I don't know what that
whole you you just okay whatever right
anyway
anyway Let's uh
I know we're starting early and this has
been a regular time but you know
now it's just I guess I guess I should
start streaming later right
let's start stream later well let's
start this out with some lit footage of
what the fuck is going on in France okay
let's just get right into it
some lit footage of what's going on in
France
so check this out
so this is Iran right now this is some
protests that are currently going on in
Iran
uh the Islamic Republic of Iran these
are people rising up against the mullahs
in Iran you know so they can have only
fans and all the things that we have in
the West
and this is also footage from Russia and
it's from these are the oy girls and
xinjiang they're rising up against the
cccp at the cccp I mean and you know
look at this
so that's Iran and the people are rising
up it's a great grand revolution in Iran
except
one there's a slight problem right
there's a slight problem uh the problem
is that this is not Iran this is in
France and they're burning down City
Halls now yeah if this was in Syria Iran
Russia or China it would have been
broadcasted 24 7 by the Western media
right
with calls for regime change and all we
got to help are you are you hearing
about this shit on TV
I genuinely don't watch TV I I would
expect this is not being covered
right but this is in France and this is
just a fraction
of what's going on and they're giving
this this dog shit BBC look at this
so this one is is just fucking beautiful
right so France I have to show you the
direct footage of this because it's not
going to be given its full Justice if I
don't show you the full thing
but you got to look at this this is
fucking just Grand right look at this
footage of macron
and you're not gonna believe this okay
so this is macron giving an interview
talking about how you know the French
people need to make sacrifices for the
bankers
you need to make these sacrifice for the
bankers and you know you got to have
your standard living degraded and
destroyed and all this kind of stuff
now look at this this is the Manuel
macron wearing
a
80 000 watch you heard that correctly
this is an eighty thousand dollar watch
okay
and then look what he does
it's gone how does so what happens to
the watch
you'll see it's pretty crazy
it's got the watch he goes oh shit he's
got the watch look at his face he's a
little bit worried
that he's gonna get caught
the media is going to say something
about this yeah
and then the watch is gone
now I don't know if this is a magic
trick or what the fuck this is but this
is pretty crazy right
this is pretty significant though the
watch is just fucking gone
that's pretty fucking crazy
that's pretty crazy if you ask me the
watch just disappeared
and
it's proof of magic
it's proof that something is going on in
France deeper than we could even imagine
or possibly foretell but the watch is
gone and I just what was I I just wonder
what he was expecting like oh we're not
going to catch on and remember
that he was wearing that
a few seconds ago I don't know but
uh insane right look at this more than
one million people protest across France
because of their pension reform
one guys one million fucking people now
let me tell you something people are
protesting in France
all the fucking time okay
I'm not saying that's anything new
but
the topic is important because we're
facing probably the most unprecedented
economic crisis since 1929 you heard
that right brace yourself for it because
it is fucking here and yes it's gonna
rock the entire Western world not just
the USA where the crisis originated
and you know we're going to be
constantly be told things like we need
to keep making sacrifices we need to
just accept the inflation and fucking
price hikes of 80 80 percent
paying 80 more for eggs and runaway
inflation if it's not runaway inflation
inflation we're going to increase the
interest rates and and do the austerity
politics sorry the austerity economics
which we all know doesn't fucking work
and it's proven by history doesn't work
this crisis is going to be offloaded
onto the people that's what I'm trying
to say that's a hint of what they're
doing in France they are shifting the
burden of the crisis that is entirely
the responsibility of the bankers
like the ones that macron used to
actually fucking work for he used to
work for one of the biggest banks in
Europe
by the way
the crisis is their responsibility but
the burden of responsibility is being
shifted to the people oh your your
grandparents are too fucking lazy they
need to work more your grandparents need
to work more that's the problem we need
to cut Social Security and buckle up
he asked is extremely cynical austerity
politics is what it is Christian's
planned pension reform more than a
million people demonstrated yesterday to
protest president macron's decision to
raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
he pushed this through Parliament in
some places protests turns violent you
see this footage thank you so much
changed us the money from the banks
yeah yeah yeah really eighty thousand
dollar watch I mean wow do as I say not
as I do example someone setting the
front door of the city hall Ablaze in
the southwestern city of uh Bordeaux CBS
News foreign correspondent Elaine Cobbs
following the situation more elevated
guys this is uh I mean you already know
the drill if this was happening in
Russia or Iran or one of these other
countries that are not friendly with the
US it'd be how would they be covering it
the authoritarian government of macaron
is that the language they use no they're
gonna say
macron is the ultimate example of pedo's
in power
anti-populist politics is pedo politics
it's like these pedals in power are like
oh the people are wrong haha Giga Chad
macron is giving the finger to the
French people they're wrong well that's
your pedo anti-social politics it's like
pedos on Twitter are the same oh
everyone hates me I'm a pedo I wear it
as a badge of honor that's what all the
fucking Globe Emoji liberals who love
macron it's the same kind of politics
it's Pro macron petal politics okay
and
they you know they have this
contrarianism these globemoji liberals
oh the popular Sentiments of the people
wrong they're not fucking wrong though
because they can rightly see that they
are being blamed for France's lack of
productivity when it's clearly it's not
because not enough old people aren't
Baristas it's because as a whole look at
the look at France's domestic
manufacturing look at France's domestic
industry macron himself is like oh we
want to be a startup gig economy country
listen
a gig economy doesn't a startup you
just don't mean shit unless they augment
your industries right what's the point
of a startup if it's just gonna augment
our patterns of consumption oh yeah
we're gonna make startups that just
serve the fucking purpose of what's
getting you have these stupid scooters
no the whole point is that startups are
supposed to make production more
productive the actual real physical
production that's what you lack in
France mukwon the reason you lack that
in France macron is because of a
systemic policy pursued by the French
financial Elites and the financial
Capital that rules France
it's pretty simple
so they devastated France's economy but
the French people are being blamed for
it now this is going to come to America
faster than you think because we're
facing an unprecedented economic crisis
and I promise you they're gonna shift
the blame to the American people as if
they were not suffering enough they're
going to start Shifting the blame to the
American people and saying things like
oh we need to make sacrifices especially
for the environment because we're just
polluting too much
too much that's the problem that's what
the real problem is pollution
they're gonna say some shit like that
you know today from when we saw you
yesterday Elaine in the mix with these
kind of Rowdy crowds talk to us about
the level of confidence these protesters
have that the demonstrations
particularly the violent components will
influence the president to change his
mind
Errol a lot of the violence was in fact
prompted by troublemakers who had
nothing to do with the protests but
where on the sidelines purely because
they wanted to clash with the police and
they saw an opportunity to cause trouble
but there was a lot more anger during
have they ever reported on like Iranian
protests like this like oh yeah the
Iranian protesters are just some people
who want to cause trouble and clash with
the police on the sidelines
whenever there's Iranian approach the
Iranian people's yearning for freedom
that's the reason they're doing it
they're yearning for our freedoms during
the protests last night I could really
see that now the unions yesterday
tellingly had said they were going to
meet after the protest to consider their
next steps and then they came out and
said we will have a new day of action
next week so it seems clear that they
saw the huge turnout around the country
with more than a million people on the
streets and said look we have the
backing of the people we need to keep
going and they say they want to keep
going until the president actually
scraps the entire plan but of course he
and the government say that is just not
going to happen well Elaine you
mentioned that another day of action is
planned it's set for next Tuesday what
can we expect
we can expect and believe it or not
France is actually becoming a more
authoritarian country and not in a based
way it's becoming a fascistic
dictatorship of Finance capital
they're what are they what did macron do
in the French Parliament he's literally
engaging several stars and they are
doing nothing for diversification where
are these scooters being manufactured
it's a joke yeah exactly thank you so
much idea Spirit but you know
it's it's macron in the parliament
because all these French politicians
want to seize upon this opportunity to
be like yo easy way to get votes let's
just give the finger to macron because
let me explain this to you everyone in
America every politician in America
will never say anything bad about social
security Now the Rhinos want to get rid
of it the Democrats want to get rid of
it but if they open their fucking mouth
and say we're going to go after the
Social Security
their political career
is over right so macron is not he knows
he's unpopular but he's doing it anyway
because he's increasingly aware that he
does not derive his sanction from the
French people remember that macron got
elected because of fear-mongering over
Le Pen
remember that remember the French
elections and how I was covering them
last year
macron was going up against Le Pen
and the idea was okay we either have
macron or we have fascials um even
melanchon the leftist leader of France
was sheepdogging people into the vote
for macron
because of the fear of melon of Le Pen
the fascist
so macron is is not concerned with with
being a popular leader among the French
he's not a Democratic leader that
doesn't make him based by the way
because he's not Democrat I mean it's
literally the dictatorship of Finance
capital
it's a direct dictatorship of Finance
capital
it's an example of them getting rid of
even the veneer of liberal democracy
to enforce the direct iron dictatorship
of the financial capitalists
it's a pedo politics that's what I like
to call it okay
so people need to understand what's
going on here
he is blocking what exactly did he do in
the French Parliament I forget but it
was some
something that would get anyone else
lauded as like an authoritarian
desperate despot
he's really clashing with Parliament
constitutional coup yeah
yep it's it's pretty much a
constitutional coup let's check it out
so we've got another source here
I can show this to you pretty crazy shit
let me show this to you
French
president mac fuck off with all this the
shit French president macron overrides
Parliament to pass retirement age bill
he resorted to using special
Constitutional Powers what are these
fucking powers
let's get into the nitty-gritty details
so we can see what's going on in France
and I'm sure they're blaming Russia for
the protests left and right
uh French president Emmanuel macron on
Thursday resorted to using special
Constitutional Powers to push his plan
to raise the retirement age from 64 to
62. the pensions I mean guys you got to
wonder like why are people so upset over
these two years
because it's the straw that breaks the
fucking camel's back shit French people
have been facing this bullshit austerity
and Rising inflation increasing economic
uncertainty this is the straw that
breaks the fucking camel's back is
when the French government comes and
sits here guys once if you're fucking
lagging okay
other
the heat fucking comes here and he
starts uh
Shifting the burden on the people even
if he's doing it a little bit it's a
fucking disaster right
it's a complete fucking disaster
he resorted to using special
Constitutional Powers to push his plan
to raise the retirement age from 64 to
62. the pensions overhaul
was met with widespread protests and
Strikes
the plans were passed and as Francis
Senate
but they didn't even get the fucking uh
approval
of the lower House of Parliament and
this was shoehorned in a completely
undemocratic way
pretty fucking insane
I know a lot of you I know it is lagging
for a lot of you guys because I'm
getting a lot of fucking viewer drops so
I know it is fucking lagging there's a
ton of viewer drops
lawmakers opposed the reforms booed
Enchanted
for him to resign
a majority of the public supported
industrial actions will oppose the
changes
strikes have taken place since the start
of the year
uh and a lot of trash is building up in
parts of Paris because of this
apparently
yup I mean look
this is uh you know
this is the dictatorship of financial
capital in action
it's a banker's dictatorship you're
witnessing in France
and it's a staggering response by the
Western press which you know
use this as
well this is just some a scuffle between
Parliament I mean in any other country
that macron would be called dictator or
something right
again I'm not even using any like
biased media use of four signals crisis
of authority as France's pension Battle
Turns to unrest
he bypassed Parliament on pension reform
and it sparked days of unrest across the
country
Reviving scrutiny of police's heavy hand
attack decently French cities shrouded
into your gas and smoke
first an epic tussle with the unions
then a bitter standoff in Parliament and
now a full-blown crisis in the streets
Frank's festering pension dispute took a
turn for the worst this week with
proaches against macron's deep blue
unpopular plans hardening and escalating
amidst scenes of Chaos in Paris and
other cities
the unrest which began Thursday after
macaroni's special executive powers
duranus reform to the parliament
has seen Security Forces running battles
with protesters late in the night even
as firefighters race to extinguish
hundreds of blazes
and it's over macron's denial of
democracy
and look what melanchon is saying and
this is where I'm going to call out I'm
not a Frenchman
but I'm gonna call out melanchon for
some bullshit and someone's got to call
out the bullshit here melon song goes
the reunion of kings and Versailles has
been dispersed by the people
he said this in a tweet
so melanchon you're talking you see the
French people need to realize melanchon
you had the fucking chance to stop
macron you effectively sheepdog your
electorate to go vote for macron in the
last elections
just like Bernie Sanders did in regards
to Hillary Clinton versus Trump
now if Le Pen was in power would it be
that different who knows
but if there would be a chance that it
could be different
the chance would be there right
melanchon you made the choice this was
your choice you chose macron over Le Pen
you may not admit that
but had you
worked to enter into a coalition with
Le Pen instead of macron which which is
what you try to do pathetically
you could have you know
contributed to a different outcome
you could have prevented this from
happening
so he should have discredited himself by
now right
but this they're saying we're on the eve
of an insurrection
now I'm not always convinced of that and
I'm going to tell you why I'm not
convinced that because I don't think
we're living in an era
where massive showings of popular unrest
necessarily translates into anything
meaningful politically
that's not really true it's not always
the case that you know popular unrest
actually
has to translate into some political
something of any noteworthy political
significance
people can just go on the street and
make a big fucking mess and then go home
later because there's no real
institutional or
political power that seems to be behind
the protests
like think about it who benefits from it
politically Alan Sean I mean he had his
fucking chance to maneuver correctly in
French politics during the elections
last year and he dropped the bag so
you have to think of things not just at
the level of oh I see a lot of people
you know um
running around outside and there's
millions of people in the streets that
doesn't always necessarily mean anything
it can but not really not necessarily
so people need to understand that who
organized the riots now that
is not necessarily
an important question because
riots are not always organized
especially in France but every time you
see a ride it's not just because
someone organized it it is very possible
that popular social unrest
is a thing okay
it's not always organized by some Force
but you know there are a million
different French unions
and
you know leftist organizations that have
ample resources
to get the word out that they want to go
protest and it'll only gain traction if
there's actual
public sentiment on their side which in
this case I mean there very clearly is
public sentiment on their side
people are fucking furious that they
wanna
increase the retirement age
or the age at which people receive
pensions right
the French people
are demanding free time that's what
we're looking at
it's an interesting case because this is
jehuism in action
I don't know I don't agree with jehu on
everything in fact there's a lot I
disagree with him about
I'm not a dogmatic jehoist as far as
like understanding political economy
see this as a very clear example of
jehuism in action people are taking the
streets
because they want more free time
they can see that there has been a
tremendous expansion of the productive
forces
a tremendous advance in technology that
has not corresponded with
the dissolution of wage labor which it
should right and pensions are one of the
small examples one of the minor examples
that do exist
of some kind of means of subsistence
that's outside of the wage labor system
right
so this is jehuism in action this is
people millions of people getting onto
the streets
demanding
free time
even if it's only two years of free time
it's still enough
we should go farther right we should go
so far as to say
that we don't just want retirement for
pensioners we want to fucking basic
dividend or a basic income
for all adults
anything to destroy the service sector
anything to harm the system of wage
labor
the nine to five Wagey slavery that's
taken hold of the western world
and I add that that needs to correspond
to a re-industrialization effort so that
we can have good dignified jobs
which we work Less hours in right so
reduce the hours of Labor
uh establish some kind of basic income
and on top of that re-industrialize the
physical economy the material economy
these are things that are necessary
necessary policy orientations in the
21st century for a minimal program
in the 21st century
that's what we're looking at okay
service economy needs to fucking go
nobody here is defending the French
welfare state
because that's what that's not what this
is about it's not about the old welfare
state
it's about the new
uh you know Financial capitalist
dictatorship under macron which wants to
crucify the French people for the
economic mismanagement of Finance
capital
that's what this is actually about okay
we're not sitting here saying that
France's welfare state or the European
welfare state
is worth defending it's not
but what's also not worth defending is
this Shameless attempt to penalize the
French people
or the economic mismanagement of the
financial capitalist dictatorship of
both the European Union and the French
ruling Elites
there's a lot of elements of these
protests that are shit Libs
I understand that
there's also a lot of elements among the
protesters who are based ordinary French
people wearing their yellow vests
base thank you so much what's your
opinion on a negative income tax
idea is anyone editing this on stream no
one is if you want to take that up I
welcome it I I would appreciate that a
lot actually
I'd be beautiful
uh negative income tax I don't know if I
have an opinion on that I don't like the
word tax how about we just get rid of
the taxes
no more taxes no more taxes I like that
one the zero attacks
no taxes at all
unleash productive forces
let's establish non-governmental means
of socialization
you know I'm not a Richard wolf
cooperatives guy but
kind of on the right track in some
regards you know some kind of new
think of socialism outside of the
universal Bourgeois state
I think we should start considering that
right
taxes are no good government bureaucracy
is no good
in general right make the supply chain
more efficient yeah that's the same type
of wavelength that I'm on as well
make the supply chain more efficient I
believe yep
that's what I'm about as well
that's that same shit on one about as
well
so I want to show you guys
some stuff
that is so fucking weird
My Stream is not even showing up on
YouTube
are you guys seeing this
guys look how fucking weird this is holy
shit no wonder my stream's doing dog
shit look at this
you see my stream it says 286 waiting
notify me scheduled
it's not even showing up as live which
means nobody fucking got any uh
notification for my live stream
what
so nobody got a fucking notification for
the live stream I was wondering why the
stream is doing so poorly
and now I realize nobody got
oh you got a notification but it doesn't
show up as live
that's a big fucking problem obviously
that's why it has so many likes compared
to viewers holy shit
what yeah YouTube is fucking with this
shit so we might go to rumble honestly
tonight I'm not I don't have the
patience for YouTube's fucking bullshit
and uh restart the stream I don't
I don't know if that's worth it you know
um this is such a fucking outrage
yeah I'm not in the algorithm that's the
point I don't get put in the fucking
algorithm so nobody can fucking discover
me
oh man this is a fucking disaster man
that's a fucking disaster
should go to rumble I I'm gonna do maybe
at least another hour
and then if if one hour from now I'm
experiencing
the same problem I'm just gonna go to
fucking Rumble for the rest of the
stream tonight
because this is some fucking bullshit
this is some Shameless algorithm
suppression that's going on
and it's just fucking unreal right
that is so fucking frustrating
more than a minute that is so fucking
frustrating
million people have been caught up in
violent protests in France over the
government's decision to raise the
pension age to 64. protesters launched
an all-out assault in Paris looting
stores lighting fires and charging at
police Europe correspondent Lisa Raymer
was there
[Applause]
streets of Paris powers like a tiger
shrouded in a
innocence clashed with police their
throats filled with tear gas as they
fought to have their voices heard
their Fighters with President Emmanuel
macron but on the streets it is those in
riot gear and those without who are at
War can this
peacefully
plays the case the morning started with
a peaceful Nationwide strike over a
million people walked off the job
rallying against the government's
decision to raise the pension age to 64.
I'm furious
serious they didn't hide their hatred or
who they were directing it at his
passing his law against the will of the
people but it was calm unfazed parisians
were out you know what I think this is
I think YouTube is suppressing anything
with uh
France unrest in the title like they're
probably just suppressing news about
what's going on in France in all honesty
adults enjoying the street side
entertainment they have been protest for
hours
passionately the passion remains
the police have just sprayed tear gas on
this crowd not for the first time this
evening
the crowd was going to extremes to get
president macquam's attention do you
think
the prince listening
the Rats of Paris overrun by a cat and
mouse game between police and protesters
the first would charge and fire the
latter would Sprint and retreat but only
for a breath catching minute they just
keep coming back stronger every time
Medical Teams struggled to keep up with
the need more than 120 officers were
injured across the country more than 170
people were arrested they are very
aggressive so we're very aggressive in
return it's really frightening this has
clearly become about something so much
greater than pension reform this is now
a fight to topple the president by
Sundown all fiery Hal had broken loose
it's very bad I don't like it the police
didn't like it either
the reality of the tear gas
it is absolutely suffocating it's aging
it's horrible ah it's horrible the nose
the the eyes everything's ah that yeast
it's not finished this ending Chrome
Army is already planning to do it all
again next week look how many people are
here so he's wrong the city of love is
being choked by hate
aliceette joins us now let's set as at
all possible that the French government
would change its mind on this pension
policy
it seems highly unlikely saying
president macron is adamant that this
policy is the only way to save the
country's struggling economy he has
broken his weeks-long silence on this
controversial policy to declare that it
will be in place by the end of the year
he has also compared the recent protests
and the protesters to those who stormed
the U.S capital in 2020.
oh shit it's gone Global they're fucking
comparing it to j6
can you fucking believe that
that's actually crazy
that is like ah wow Next Level shit
really some Next Level shit
so let me get this straight when there's
protests in Hong Kong or there's
protests in Iran or there's protests in
Russia those are brave pro-democracy
Freedom Fighters but when there's
protests in the western world that
challenge the powers that be that's the
most dangerous Insurrection in the
history of the world it's j6 and the
fucking Communist Party USA will never
shut the fuck up about it acting like
it's like the most horrible fascist
dangerous threat
I mean imagine the fucking Communist
Party of France is sitting here calling
these pension protesters fascists
no no it's not macron who's literally
overruling Parliament and bypassing them
in the most shamelessly non-democratic
way as a fascist the real fascists are
these uh Boomers taking the streets
because they don't want their fucking
retirement destroyed by a fucking
neoliberal dictatorship pretty crazy
pretty crazy
he won 5 000 police officers were
deployed to the streets of Paris
yesterday but still they were utterly
outnumbered by these protesters they are
vowing to be back on mass and with Force
already the next major demonstration is
booked in on the calendar it is set to
coincide with the arrival of King
Charles and Camilla here in Paris for
what will be their first state visit
since the queen yeah these are clearly
the brown shirts in action diet a Europe
correspondently sit around with their
life from Paris Tina
this
unbelievable so guys
unfortunately okay it's working never
mind We Begin Today's Show in France
where unions say I can't stand Amy
Goodman but let's watch this in three
million people took to the streets in a
nationwide general strike Thursday to
protest president Emmanuel macan's
deeply unpopular move to unilaterally
raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
without giving the French Parliament a
chance to vote on the plan on Monday
McCall survived a vote of no confidence
by just nine votes in Bordeaux on
Thursday the town hall was set on fire
and in Paris Police fired tear gas at
protesters who included transportation
workers garbage collectors teachers
students and more
we're here today because it's out of the
question to once again raise the return
see these are Working Class People these
are like Working Class People these are
not Baristas with pink hair you know
that's that's what makes it a difference
guys
it's not just that we're against
Baristas because of cultural politics
it's that we recognize which
demographics actually lead to political
change it's not the fucking Baristas
that shake a country to its core it's
the fucking working class that does that
this is a good example of it German age
you have to understand that some people
work in difficult conditions and today
these people are told that not only do
they have to work longer but also
nothing they're Mecca
workers it's the government in the
future to restart this type of Bill it's
time for hard hats you see that for them
to understand o barista's here these are
hard hats that's why France is at a
standstill right now a bunch of Baristas
were on the street no one would give a
shit they would just say there's more
crackheads on the street and that people
also want to enjoy their lives we're not
here to die in the job we're here to be
able to enjoy life one day too as
protests continue a visit by British
King Charles to France has just been
postponed striking workers had said that
I forgot there's a British king
the queen is gone wow so it really is a
king now
that's pretty crazy and unprecedented
and you know I always thought there was
just a British uh
give me a second actually
give me a second we are going through a
full-blown color Revolution
in my fucking Rumble
give me a second
all right
all right
yeah Rumble fucked up completely
hey
all right it should work now
all right got that done
my YouTube is actually broken
um so on my end on streamlabs I don't I
I don't get any viewer account on my
stream Lab so I knew something was up
refused my YouTube is like broken right
now the YouTube stream is not working at
all roll out the rate I don't even know
if the VOD is Gonna Save after this is
over that's the crazy thing perfect for
him France's eight largest unions have
called another Nationwide protest for
this Tuesday for more we go to massive
France to speak with the journalists
Cole stangler whose guest essay in the
New York Times today is headlined France
is furious welcome back to democracy Now
Cole can you describe the level of mass
protest and discussed in the streets
right now throughout France and talk
about how this was pushed through
yeah so you know I think there's really
two things uh going on here if you want
to simplify it uh as you were just as
you were just explaining you have on the
one hand this this pension reform that's
extremely unpopular just on itself but
on the merits um polls show about uh
anywhere from two-thirds to seven out of
ten French people have opposed this
reform from the very beginning uh so
going back to January at the very first
protest that we saw
um they see it as unfair hurting the the
least well-off in French society
disproportionately hurting manual
workers hurting women
um so a lot of opposition to the reform
uh itself going on now for two months
we've had this wave of of mobilization a
wave of strikes and then as you were
mentioning
uh what has sort of energized the
movement further is the way that the
government has gotten this report
last Friday there was supposed to be a
vote in the National Assembly on this
unpopular Bill uh the government when
they realized they didn't have the votes
to actually get it approved in the
National Assembly uh deployed this uh a
constitutional measure that allows them
to approve the vote with approve the
bill without a vote uh in in Parliament
and so then on Monday survived this
motion of no confidence So in theory uh
this bill is is now going to be taking
effect uh there's a couple of ways to
perhaps block it which we can maybe get
into but that that the way the
government has carried out this reform I
think is has has given the movement New
Life uh it's why unions have called
called for another day of mobilization
uh on Thursday and it's why we have
another one set up next week because
people see that is is really unfair not
only uh is the government trying to do
this this pension reform that people see
as as fundamentally unfair
um but they're ignoring uh historically
large protests even by France by French
standards they're ignoring uh the
opinion polls they're ignoring moderate
labor unions yeah that's that's what
we're dealing with
um we are dealing with a full breakdown
of even any traditional semblance of
democracy I'm not a pro-democracy guy
but even China has a democracy in the
sense of like you know the government
let me put it in this way China had
their lock their zero code with lockdown
policy there was just a few small
protests dispersed across China and the
government was so receptive to those
they fucking scrapped the whole thing
now you got a situation where the whole
French nation is rising up in arms
against macron and it's like they don't
give a fuck they're gonna keep this is
like an anti-human
regime
you have in France and you you don't you
don't think that's necessary for their
uh
World economic Forum agenda it is
it absolutely is
oh fuck
it absolutely is gonna be I have the
fucking hiccups I can't believe this
oh my God yeah
anyone else see upcoming this video yup
it's not working for some fucking reason
I have no idea why
something must be wrong in my stream
lives I have the fucking hiccups and
this is a nightmare right now
I need to be scared or something
get rid of these fucking hiccups this is
crazy
I'm sad let's negotiate something
um and so all this is is fueling this
movement and right now uh you know it
feels very similar to the yellow bus
movement back in late 2018 early 2019
where you had this government that that
doesn't seem to understand the anger
that it's Unleashed
so can you talk about the ways where
it's possible this would be rolled back
coal
yeah so there's there's a precedent that
a lot of people have in their minds
which is the 2006 Youth Employment
contract uh at the time you had Mass
mobilization
f
what's just left
what's your theft the stream is gone
why is there a fucking f
for my hiccups you're effing
oh it's supposed to scare me
okay now I understand
now I get it
now I get it
that's funny guys that's funny but
you're all getting bad that's really
funny
that's really hilarious stuff
too bad you're getting banned forever
for it
from from student unions from labor
unions uh to to oppose this reform the
National Assembly actually passed this
bill in February uh 2006 the movement
continued and then a couple months later
the Prime Minister uh under the guidance
of then president Jacques chirak uh
thought maybe this was not the best time
to be approving this extremely
polarizing we have to do the patreon Q a
I forgot about that
we definitely have to do a patreon q a
um
what the fuck
yeah we've got to do a patreon q a
definitely
I have not done one in so fucking long
that's crazy
I have not done a patreon q a in like 20
000 years let's do one tomorrow right
this week
it's becoming like a once a month thing
so we're gonna have the same one as last
time where you can come on stream and
ask questions
we're gonna have that you can come on
stream and ask your questions as well
um because wow this is crazy
all right
this is insane
absolutely insane insanity absolutely
incredibly unprecedented
popular
um uh law that was creating mass mass
protests and so the government actually
uh did not uh apply the law that had
been passed and they actually then the
National Assembly passed a law repealing
we'll do it tomorrow or we'll do it the
day Day After Tomorrow well we'll do it
this weekend for 100 okay
um so that's one method that's one route
and that's why we had protests that are
continuing it's why we have unions that
are saying you know this isn't over yet
trying to give the government a sort of
exit ramp if they wanted to de-escalate
things that that's one route the other
route uh the most significant route
would be the French constitutional
Council the equivalent uh rough
equivalent of the Supreme Court uh
examining this law and deciding that uh
deciding to invest
I am definitely going to move over to
either kick
or Rumble today
ones if I should go to kick two is for
rumble
tonight
actually let me let me do a poll
let me do a poll
um no no guys shut up I'm just gonna do
a fucking poll okay
start a pool
we're gonna end this poll
we're gonna start a new poll
we're only going to one of them
where should I go kicker Rumble
oh
kick is doing horrible
kick is doing horrific all right we want
to rumble then
when our YouTube is broken it's fucking
dog shit
okay parts or all of the build there's a
lot of questions over that specific
measure that the government has deployed
again to get this bill across the Finish
Line article 49.3 of the French
Constitution uh critics say that it
wasn't really meant for a reform of this
nature the government attached this
massive pension reform to a very
particular budget bill so there's a sort
of technical argument to be made that uh
this article was applied uh
inappropriately and you know the the
Constitutional Council will be meeting
as well amid this uh you know upheaval
amid these these Mass protests that as
you mentioned are not dying out we have
another wave scheduled for next week
and who is supporting the president in
this I mean clearly overwhelmingly the
population is against this oh does my
YouTube work now because now streamlabs
is showing up
is my YouTube work now
streamlabs just showed up
uh you want the fuck my YouTube works
now
it's that's not glitching anymore
so as soon as we fucking did a poll to
go to rumble or kick YouTube fix their
shit
what the fuck have you guys ever seen
anything like this as soon as we fucking
threatened to go to rumble or kick
YouTube immediately fixed it
like in a second they fixed it they
fixed it on my end for stream labs and
they fixed it for YouTube's fucking um
player what the fuck and now yes My
Views are like skyrocketing now what the
fuck
yeah YouTube just fucking fixed it
as soon as I fucking said yeah like in
30 minutes we're gonna head over to
rumble or kick YouTube decides to get
their shit together and fix their shit
that is fucking crazy
I can't fucking believe that they just
fixed it now
what the fuck
Emmanuel macron has a base of Voters
that that's very real I don't want to
yeah YouTube's like an abusive
girlfriend
you know we didn't get a notification
I'm not surprised I couldn't forget that
uh like fucking with my shit macronus
base tends to be uh wealthier they tend
to be older voters they tend to vote
more as well uh we saw this in the
legislative elections uh last summer uh
so you have a small chunk of of the
French population about a third
according to polls that supports this
reform but uh but they're really in the
minority and I think if you're looking
forward to if we're looking ahead to
sort of who's going to benefit uh from
us I think it's important to stress as
well that you know if you look at France
from abroad there's often a tendency to
to look at simply Emmanuel macron the
president and then uh his opposition uh
on the far right so represented by
Marine Le Pen it should be stressed that
Le Pen and the national rally have
played effectively no role in this
protest movement the movement is led by
labor unions uh going from moderate
labor unions to more militant left-wing
labor unions and it's being led by the
parties uh of the left I think it's an
important point to stress here people
that sort of expected or thought that
maybe the French left was dead or that
labor unions in France couldn't mobilize
anymore have been proven wrong uh by
this yeah but they're vestigial that's
the problem
but yeah I mean the difference in France
though is they actually have a basis in
the working class that's not true in
America
you have a mass movement that that's
really that's being led by labor that
has shown it continues to have the sort
of culturalism Labor wasn't totally
taken over in France like it was in
America appeal
um the sort of power that to to mobilize
uh the the French Workforce well Cole
stangler ruana thank you so much for
being with us paris-based journalists
speaking to us though from Marseille
thank you so much for speaking to us

book

I'm sick of YouTube right now
I do not have the patience to deal with
YouTube's fucking bullshit that's the
